FAREWELL

Eberekpe Whyte's picture

Unto thee, a bid of farewell

To you, brother
Likewise you, sister
And friends;
And to think enemies are exempt
To all of thee,
Farewell!

Since you refused
To heed the advice
And rejected all counsel,
Let this farewell be your company.

To this long journey to the winter cold
Snow devastation,
To the journey to summer
In spell suffocation in all its frustration and stress
Farewell
And bad-bye!

Do not anticipate prayers
For prayers will not stop the encounters.

You shall be at the mercy
Of the tax-man and political pranksters
If you are permitted or not to pursue the virtue of fending, that is.

You shall not get a prayer to die
For you will never die nor meet death
Nor shall you receive a prayer to live
For you will never find life or existence.

Do not hope to find love
Because love does not exist;
Do not wish for hate
Because it is unfounded.

Farewell to the place
Where everybody smiles at you,
But in their hearts they ask questions
About the authenticity
Of Breathe.

Do not ask for prayer for thee
To succeed or not to fail;
Success and failure do not exist
Here on this journey,
At arrival
And at settlement?

Farewell.
And if you do
Become wise
You would have heeded this.
